Portfolio #1

Well, here goes nothin'...

All of the following pieces are my coverage blogging requirements. I wrote these blogs because I was moved by the readings and felt a need to express my thoughts (however confusing or irrelevant) for the rest of the class. I feel these entries best show my reaction and understanding of the work we have done in American Lit.

Emily Dickinson poetry

Scarlet Letter reading

Emerson

"The human thirst for self-torture" and "The Crow"


These next blogs are for depth. Unlike the coverage entries, these are not just my own thoughts; I studied and researched to get a better understanding of what the author was really saying.

ABSURDITY, n. A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own opinion.

"The human thirst for self-torture" and "The Crow"


From others in the class commenting on my blogs, I began discussions about the work we studied. These interaction blogs may show not only my thoughts, but the reaction my classmates had to my entries. Some of these entries are covered in the coverage and depth areas, but here I primarily focused on the comments left by other people.

ABSURDITY, n. A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own opinion.


Unlike the interaction area, these discussion entries are discussions that I have started my commenting on someone else's blog. From my classmates, I have then gone on to write a blog from my own thoughts and through their inspiration.

Katie Aikins' Poe's "The Raven" and Beauty inspired "The human thirst for self-torture" and "The Crow"


Xenoblogging is the work done on other's blogs; therefore, these are not my blogs, but I have left comments.

Kelly Smogor's The Throwing of the Book and Kelly's Responses

Reneé DeFloria's No Thanks to Film Class!


Finally, the wildcard is a random blog that does not necessarily have to do with my American Lit. class. My wildcard is a description of myself and my life.

Katie,

I like how you setted up your blogs that go under each category. Also, the way you included some information about each category, is also helpful to people. Instead of just listing them, you went on and gave more information about the topic. Good Job!
